What to do second:

• From your H drive open the Word document - Your first name External 91070 - if you do not have this file, skip down to "What to do first" heading below.
• Download this worksheet OR get a printed copy from Miss to work on for the period.

What's the difference between Describe; Explain and Evaluate?

Command word	Explanation	Example
Identify what Miss is wearing…	“If the question says ‘identify’ then I need to actually say what I see”	Miss is wearing a suit with a jacket and a trousers.
Describe what Miss is wearing…	“If the question says ‘describe’ then I need to actually say what I see and give a bit of detail like, what it looks like and where it is”	Miss is wearing a grey pinstriped suit. The jacket has two buttons and pockets. The trousers are turned up at the bottom.
Explain what Miss is wearing…	“If the question says ‘explain’ then I need to actually give reasons (say why) for what I can see”	Miss is wearing a suit because she is at work and would like to look professional.
Justify what is wearing…	“If the question says ‘justify’ then I need to actually give a balanced answer (two different opinions) and then give my own opinion.	Some people think Miss dresses too formally as a suit is very business like. Other people think it is right to wear a suit at school so that Miss is taken more seriously. I agree that wearing a suit makes miss look smart and more professional.

1. Open Microsoft Word 2007 and Save the document onto your H drive as Your first name External 91070
